Bring plastic not greenbacks to Assembly Hall this fall …

I hope some of the older fans don't get left behind. Electronic tickets were a tough sell not that long ago.
Most venues I’ve been to the last two years have moved to this. Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Victory Field also added some self serve sections for some items
Shit, Gainbridge doesn’t even have paper tickets. If people can deal with that, they can deal with no cash for sure.
they got a smart phone, they better have a CC!
I won’t be using plastic at the concession stand out of principle. They no longer accept our national currency? No problem, can save some money.
I have my debit and credit cards on my phone wallet. If they would let me load my license and CC I wouldn’t carry a wallet anymore. Money clip maybe.
Not that long ago we all had the George Costanza wallet. Now just a couple plastic cards and some emergency cash in a thin cover.
Sorry my age is speaking but I wouldn't leave the house without $3-400.00 in my pocket. I have adapted and can live with the new commerce when it is called for otherwise it is cash only. About a month ago I was buying strawberries on sale at Kroger. 2-2lb. containers for 4.98. When I ran them over the scanner they were recorded @ 5.89 each. Ask the attendant for help and she stated I needed a digital coupon. Ask what that was and she told me I had to download the Kroger app and search for the coupon. Those 2 containers had to be put back shelf where I found them. Some MBA just rendered my Kroger card worthless with the digital coupon boondoggle. So I now shop elsewhere. I know they'll never miss me but I own the satisfaction of choice.
IU gives the finger to it's fans again.
if a lot of fans didn't still want to use cash, IU wouldn't have to prohibit it, would they.
that said, if IU wants to set up bottled drinks or sandwich kiosks in the concourses that only do plastic, i could understand that.
put doing so in the main concession stands and ticket windows is bad policy.

That's one of the dumber things I've read on here in a while. Kudos.
I assure you that, if put to a vote, those of us that patronize some or all of these venues would vote overwhelmingly to drop cash. I have $100 in my wallet at all times just for emergencies, and I intend to keep it there just for that reason.
that's a total and complete ahole attitude.
lot's of people prefer using cash.
they don't lobby to ban using plastic, even though plastic slows everything down.
All of this because the attendants do not know how to
make change.
Cards do not take longer. It is much slower to make change, hand to the customer who then counts every penny to make sure it is correct, then puts coins and bills away before exiting the line.
Years ago when the company I work for went direct deposit payroll, one of the older employees asked how they were going to get his money in the hole in his backyard. Guy was tighter than a virgin in a whorehouse
Did he live back in the Wooley Swamp?
The old man didn't care about people anyway
All he cared about was his money
He'd stuff it all down into Mason jars and bury it all around
And on certain nights if the moon was right
He'd dig it up out of the ground
He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack
And run his fingers through it
I have a more nuanced perspective on this. I’m only 51 and can handle the electronic world ok. However I was thinking as I travelled thru the Charlotte airport last weekend with my AA app and got to the check in kiosk with 7000 possible combinations of answers to enter how difficult it would be to be an elderly person trying to traverse the digital age. What harm is there in offering cash AND credit at the concessions? Most cultures respect their elders. Instead we make fun of them. I find it appalling personally
it takes longer if you ask for a receipt, assuming the transaction
went through on the first swipe.
A lot of you guys probably aren't old enough to have experienced the old credit card machines. The seller had to position the card just right, enter a bunch of numbers and hand crank the machine across 3-4 pieces of paper (one being a messy carbon paper of dark blue ink) that had to be torn off and handed back to you, along with card, to be signed. Today, when cards have the magic chips with instant information to "touch" and no receipt is requested, how long can that take compared to the old method? (Ans.- very little, aka not nearly as long).
Today, I carry very little cash if any at all. This way if my wallet is stolen I don't lose it along with my cash. My credit card does it all, big or small. At the end of the year I can see almost everything I spent after adding in my bank checks written. All the expenditures are categorized by Chase into like groupings. It's always shocking to see how much money I spend in a year. Other than that, it means nothing so my spending habits, being good habits, never change..

Isn't there an old saying, something about two hands in the bush being worth nothing finer in the morning? "Just for the hell of it...just for the smellofit!"
I believe your aggressive use of spaces and d-bag way of talking to people is a cry for help
worked in the payment/ financial services for a long time, you are wrong
anyhoo, have fun loading your raggedy-ass bills into the self check lane at the grocery store. I’ll be the dude swiping a cash back credit card and laughing at you
Many people prefer paying in cash as I do. I doubt I use plastic once a month and that's only when I travel. I carry a high value CC and have never possessed a debit card. Lots of retail businesses offer a discount for cash, avoiding the card charges. Good business practice for small business. I take advantage every time.
Businesses don't really like cash. You have to count it, multiple times a day, to be sure none is missing. You have to get it to the bank, either yourself or by paying a company like Brinks to pick it up. You have to have adequate coins and small bills to make change. This all takes employee time, for which the business is paying. You also may need to pay for a safe and insurance, and your employees face a chance of robbery. All of this compared to paying a transaction fee to a card processing service.
I like cash, because it preserves my privacy. It's the only way to pay for something without leaving an electronic trail to be sold off to Google, Facebook, and other online marketers and influencers. But I understand why businesses don't like it. Cashless payments solves a lot of problems and expense for them.

But it’s their right to pay in the national accepted currency, right??
Not if it’s not accepted there. There are many places I would love to pay by card that are cash only.
